Behind the blog, life wasn’t all yummy recipes & outdoor adventures this week, so you bet DadChef & I turned to one of our healthy coping mechanisms – finding some culinary calm cooking up all the things in la Cucina, silly stupid kitchen dances & a toast to walking through hard parenting things with the biggest glass of Cab Sav ;). We know families are
We’ve had this recipe in drafts for a while now, and I don’t know about you, but this time of year always has me craving comforting pasta dishes. This easy-peasy Tex Mex Pasta Bake is a Taco Night leftover makeover I made using all the leftover taco bar fixings plus a few other simple ingredients. You can file this recipe under “no fuss meals”, because
Our days are turning consistently crisp & cool around here, so queue all the comfort foods, like homemade, hearty soups. I love that you really can’t make a bad batch, recipes don’t have to be exact to be delish, and they’re a great way to use up all the wilting veggies lingering in the fridge.

You know those meals where when you’re eating it, you barely speak to your loved ones because it’s just SO dang good? This One-Pan Butternut Squash + Turkey Gnocchi recipe was one of those dishes. DadChef and I looked at each other wide-eyed knowing the feeling was mutual – this recipe is YUM-aze! It almost feels fancy, but I’ll tell ya, there is certainly
Our Canadian Thanksgiving is days away & it’s usually my favourite holiday. Gather, eat, savour & reflect on things to be grateful for – the simple things really are everything. This one’s going to be tough, though – our first holiday without Papa and no doubt a huge void will be felt, especially since gathering around a table heaping with delicious food that took all
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s DadChef’s Birthday week [you can’t see him blushing from the virtual gush ;)], so today’s recipe is in honour of our pizza-loving family man, and we’re celebrating even harder because this Rustic Flatbread Fig & Prosciutto version takes just 10 minutes to make! We haven’t been dining out as much as usual, and would normally take a night
When the temps around here are still feeling a whole lot like Summer, but we’re also on the eve of Autumn, this Grilled Haullomi Power Bowl + Homemade Garlic Dill Dressing Recipe is a great segue recipe into all the hearty meals of Fall. I love salads packed with grains, seeds & seasonal veggies anytime of year really, though. Adding the mild-tasting Mediterranean-inspired Haullomi cheese
We’re gearing up for back to learning, and while I’m a self-professed Meal-Planning delinquent (*intuitive cooks unite!*), we do have some super easy recipes from the archives that would make great outside-the-typical lunchbox ideas for in-school/home-based learning. Double-whammy recipes are one of my favourite ways to simplify. Here are 8 Easy Recipes Turned Leftovers for School Lunches ideas to add to your meal rotation: 8
Freshly picked peaches conjure up nostalgia of a Summer visit out West as a kid and wandering the peach orchard in my Grandparents’ backyard in Kelowna, BC. We’re nearing the end of peach season, but I’m hoping you may have a bunch lingering to give this Peach Pizza with Herbed Ricotta a spin (*the late season variety are best for cooking!*). We made this with a
We’re heading to the family cottage for the first time of the season this weekend. Juggling multiple families & Covid-19 restrictions has meant less time up there than usual, but we’ve been keeping the cottage feel at home, trying out S’mores recipes.
